Linda McMahon Queried By Congress Over John Cena Proposal

STAMFORD, CT — It seems Linda McMahon won't be escaping the occasional WWE-related question in Washington anytime soon. U.S. Rep. Rod Blum of Iowa took his last 45 seconds on the floor during a hearing to ask McMahon why it took John Cena years to propose to longtime girlfriend Nikki Bella.

"Why did it take John Cena so long to propose marriage to Nikki Bella?" Blum said to some chuckles in the crowd. "And remember, you're under oath."

"You'd have to ask him," McMahon replied.

McMahon was at a congressional hearing on Wednesday in her role as head of the Small Business Administration. McMahon and husband Vince McMahon are the magnates of WWE. (To sign up for free, local breaking news alerts from more than 100 Connecticut communities click here.)
